Anyone know if RCI and II sell time share or who they reccomend for selling my time share? I know they have a lot of people who enjoy time shares.

RCI and Interval International(II) are the two major exchange companies and nearly every Resort or Developer is affiliated to either one or the other and in rare cases both. These companies do not sell timeshare or vacation properties, but enable a timeshare owner to trade or exchange their week(s)/points at the resort they own and select another resort for their vacation. There is usually an annual fee to belong to an exchange company like RCI or II and it is separate than the ownership of the timeshare itself.

To the best of my knowledge RCI and II remain neutral when it comes to recommending a resale or rental company.

Im going to call and see who they recommend for selling timeshares. I'll post what I find out. Thanks, Parker

Hello 'Vacation Lovers' and 'Timeshare People'

I posted a list of exchange companies a few months ago and while some may be smaller companies the the big two(RCI & II), they may offer benefits that the others do not. I thought I would quote that post for those seeking an alternative to RCI or Interval International.

So, there are options other than RCI and Interval International. I beleive there to be benefits to each, so explore your options and...change the way you see the world.

I spoke with an RCI rep and he said to search the internet for a timeshare resale company. He also said that RCI doesn't recommend any specific company for reselling your timeshare.

Thanks for the update, parker. That's pretty much the answer I guessed they would say. I'm also guessing that's how you found us!

Hello Mike, welcome to our forum and thank you for your participation.

I manage our timeshare forum and while I think I have a firm understanding of the way the major timeshare exchange companies operate, I definitely think your "hands-on" expertise will help our forum visitors(me included) understand and utilize their timeshare and/or their exchange company membership.

I know many timeshare owners who DO enjoy the benefits being a member of RCI or Interval International offers, but I know their are many other who are completely frustrated by their inability to either get what they want through their exchange company or have no idea about how to use the membership to it's full advantage or at all!

Timeshare Adventures has developed this forum to cover a variety of relevant timeshare related news, discussions, information and more. We want our forum to be THE resource center for timeshare related topics, so thanks again for your recent post and the offering of your advice/information!

now is the time that many are finally starting to enquire about their chances of booking that florida vacation for january, february and march. well, if you waited this long then you have your work cut out for you. i will give you some very good advice and you would be well served to heed it.

technically speaking you've waited too long to do what you should have done last summer but all is not lost. now, so you need a two bedroom on the beach somewheres in sunny florida eh? at this point in time i strongly urge you to put yourself on a exchange company wait list or, if you will, a search. now if you get a call from one of these companies and they offer you anything that resembles what you want then by all means take it. if you keep putting it off you'll be out of luck.. all is not lost though. you can book two one bedrooms and they may be a bit away from the beach. so whats wrong with that? would you rather be wading in slush and snow? or where its sunny and warm.

you also could enquire about rental properties through these companies.. now, if you want florida in the sun for these aforementioned times take my advice. book it a year earlier..
